• APNews: Losing GOP candidates are taking a page from Trump’s playbook and calling “voter fraud” on their losses even when they weren’t close to winning.
• Mediaite: A new Yahoo News/YouGov poll shows red-state Donald Trump voters are now more likely to say they’d be personally “better off” (33%) than “worse off” (29%) if their state seceded from the U.S. and “became an independent country.” Ironically, many of these red states rely greatly on federal subsidies that are funded by blue states like New York and California.
